Best Movie Theater (2013)

Ticket prices to first-run films can touch $40 after fees if you want the IMAX/RealD/3D experience, which is why Williamsburg Cinemas' Tuesday and Thursday $8 ticket prices—check the website for specifics—have made the movie house a destination since it opened last year. The seven-screen cinema is owned by Harvey Elgart, who also owns Cobble Hill Cinemas. And while an old movie house, with its threadbare seats and an odor your friends call "that smell," has undeniable charm, the new brushed-steel-and-glass theater in north Brooklyn (and those $8 tickets) is just so . . . easy.
